This story was intense and kept me on my toes! I like to read for a few minutes before work, and was almost late this morning, as I devoured the last 40 pages! I'm definitely interested in reading more work by this talented author.

Imagine the urban-cool writers of THE WIRE commissioned to pen an episode of THE WALKING DEAD and you'll get some sense of the gritty beauty that is Keith Rosson's FEVER HOUSE. Written in hyper present tense prose, this dream of a novel blends crime and horror far better than other efforts I've read. Ostensibly you have a story of a hand, yes, a hand, that is rumored to be from the devil and causes those who come in close proximity to do, well, devilish things, to themselves and others. I say ostensibly, because this story veers into much more. The characters are brutally real, from the disgraced fed getting a fresh start with a black ops group, to his partner, a damaged beyond repair female lead you will come to perhaps not love, but certainly understand and appreciate. There's also gangster hitters, a former rockstar and her son, and countless others. At over 400 pages, not one line is wasted. Add on that the cover is fantastic and you have a package that should make several Best-of-year lists. Consider me a new fan of Mr. Rosson. Can't wait to read what he has next in store. Highly recommended!

Fever House by Keith Rosson was just as I was hoping it would be.
This was such a wild book but also a fun story to get devour.
The characters were engaging, the plot was easy to follow whilst being tense and actually quite wild at times.
It kept me wanting more and flipping the pages.

"I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

Thank You Netgalley and Random House for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this eARC.

There was a lot going on in this book, but I really enjoyed it.

The gritty and grimy atmospheric feeling of dread was evident from the first chapter and continued throughout the book.

The horror and mystery were done well, and I found myself pondering the plot all weekend.

This was everything I could ask for in a horror novel. Also, the cover slaps.

I will definitely be giving away a copy of this around release day to help promote it. (@hauntedhousebooks on tiktok). Tysm for letting me be an ARC reader. I look forward to more from this author.

I was offered the chance to read this book before publication. It isn't exactly my genre, but I thought I would give it a shot. It was really good!

Oh, the evils that men do and the suffering it causes others. That is my take away from this story of supernatural events taking place by trying to utilize things of the devil. One mustn't play around with relics. That might be too vague. The story involves shadow government and a mother and her son and people who unfortunately get into the path of what is going on. Most have no clue what is going on.

That is about the best I can say without giving things away. I really could not put this book down. The characters were real and most had a bit of bad and good in them, a few, just plain bad. I had to keep reading to figure out how these things happening could be resolved and the ending was very creative and quite explosive.

Thank you Random House and NetGalley for this early read. What a ride~!

Huh what an interesting book. I was pretty confused almost the entire time reading this book. I understand not wanting to reveal certain parts to keep the reader hooked, but I wish some of the explanations came out sooner so that I wasn’t so confused reading this. There was a lot of different moving parts that I almost felt weren’t necessary to be added. For example, Saint Michael I don’t understand his relevance. Also, I feel like the entire situation with homeland security (or whoever it was, I don’t feel like it wasn’t ever actually mentioned and if it was, I missed it) also wanted needed or necessary. I felt like it was just another added part of the book but didn’t really help the plot in any way. The plot could’ve been simplified and I would’ve still kept me reading. This book contained the devil, physics, the government, a hit music star, drug dealers, hit men, apocalypse, and suicide. WAY too much.

5/5 stars! Wow! This book is stunning. It absolutely took me by surprise. The premise was crazy and super out there so I wasn't sure what to expect. But the plot was phenomenal, the story was warped and creepy and intense, and I couldn't put this book down. Probably my top horror read of the year so far. And that cover was awesome!

I received an advance review copy for free through NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily

this does what I was hoping for from the description, I enjoyed the concept and thought it worked well. Keith Rosson does a great job in telling the story and have it be written perfectly for the genre. The characters were what I was hoping for and I enjoyed getting to know them. I hope the story continues as I enjoyed this.

"The man in the doorway wears an off-the-rack charcoal suit, a rumpled undershirt. His is the face of every bureaucrat she’s ever seen: a bit of jowls around the collar, features puffy with fatigue. The air of middle management about him, somehow, a mediocre car salesman. The room’s light gleaming on the bald curve of his skull. He gently shuts the door behind him and pulls out the chair across from Katherine."
